Capturing The Home's Best Features

When listing a home our team often invests in a professional commercial photographer to take photos that best display all the features the home has to offer.  These photos are posted on numerous websites and of course MLS.  Potential buyers are looking at these photographs and the more attractive and clear the photos are the more likely these buyers will call their agent to make sure they book a private showing.  Now a little about Colin Rycroft our go to commercial photographer:

Colin was born and raised in Whitby, Canada and graduated with honours from the Creative Photography Program at Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology in Toronto, Canada. Colin also earned the Academic Award of Excellence for the highest grade in his program.

Colin enjoys all genres of photography, but his focus is commercial still life photography. The ability to control the subject and its lighting, and mould the image into his creative vision, is what draws him to the genre.

This is a little something extra our team likes to do for our clients; a picture says a thousand words and sometimes makes the difference when selling a house.

A Happy Client :)

This is what one of our clients had to say...
"They were extremely helpful.  They were kind, thoughtful, more than willing to help in every way.  I don't believe they could treat best friends much better.  On top of this they were a pleasure to be with."
-Ruth S.

We always love to hear feedback from our clients! Thank you Ruth for your kind words.

Looking For Someone To Stage Your House? Look No Further!

Our team has recently used Home On Display to stage one of our listings.  They did a wonderful job.  At the first open house many people commented on how lovely the house was and the warm feeling they had from walking through it.  As a result we had two offers by Sunday and the home was SOLD solid within 48 hours of putting it on the market and our clients received more than the asking price.  Staging helps sell a home in many ways including making people feel comfortable and able to visualize their furniture in the space, often times if it is empty it looks much smaller than it really is.  So if you were to ask me, is staging your home effective? YES and Home On Display are just the people to help you with your staging needs.  Here is some information about this great local company.

Home On Display – Home Staging and Rental Furniture Peterborough, is a local home staging and rental furniture company -- the perfect complement to the services of a professional real estate agent.


Home On Display provides clients with consultations to help them sell their homes more quickly and for the best possible price. The results are spectacular: Home on Display client homes sell in HALF the time of the Real Estate Board average. For clients with vacant spaces, Home On Display will supply rental furniture, artwork and accessories.

The team at Home on Display is truly passionate about helping homeowners, real estate agents, builders and property investors create spaces that buyers fall in love with. They take great pride in every SOLD sign they are able to help achieve.

When asked what makes Home on Display a uniquely successful consulting service, Home Staging Professional Karen Searle says: “It’s all about a team approach. Selling a client’s property as a team with the homeowner, real estate agent and Home on Display ensures that the selling process is less stressful and more enjoyable for clients.” Karen says nothing makes her happier than seeing the fruits of that approach – often watching homes sell at or even over asking-price after just days on market.

Home on Display stagers know how to appeal to buyers. They are skilled at helping homeowners showcase their properties to appeal to the widest cross-section of potential buyers. Their team of staging professionals assess challenges to the condition and saleablilty of the home and make recommendations to the home seller, helping them sell their property quickly and for the highest  possible return.

This approach, this passion and this record of success is why Home on Display – Home Staging and Rental Furniture Peterborough is the fastest growing home staging company in the Kawartha Lakes.

How Much Are You Paying?

This chart is something I often give to my buyer clients when we are searching at homes to help them understand the costs involved with different types of heating systems.  Which system do you have and is it time to consider changing to natural gas to save money in the long run?  For more information about this subject feel free to contact us at 705-742-4234!

Plan and $ave

As we all know gas prices keep climbing.  As a real estate agent I am often driving around Peterborough showing property and presenting offers and I'm sure you are feeling the crunch of gas prices too so you are in luck.  This is a link that displays current gas prices around the city, this way if you are planning to head to the west end of town for the afternoon and gas prices are cheaper there, you can save a few bucks and fill up there!  Check out this link and start saving now!
